I guess i just see the d perfroming, and other positions, something has to be out there better than murray and jones late round picks from years ago....Part of the problem for them is mid level quarterbacks get paid by the league and continually get another opportunity. Someone like Paxton Lynch would probably be solid here but he already has 15 million reasons not to risk his body for a $60K/year gig. Plus he'll probably spend another 5 years bouncing around as a backup and make more money doing so than either of us will see in our lifetime. For 80% of the players in this league they've made 25% of that if they are lucky and know that this is an audition that could set them up.
Maybe we find some better quarterback play over time here. Cornelius was fine tonight. He isn't a NFL caliber quarterback but in college was more than just a game manager. The Houston QB is undersized for the NFL but looks ok here. Over time the NFL is going to look at this as a developmental league so you may start to see more quarterbacks who need experience before they are ready to play filtering down.
